About Mica For Everyone

Mica For Everyone is a tool to customize system backdrop on Win32 apps using DwmSetWindowAttribute and other methods. It can apply Mica (or any other backdrop materials) on the non-client area (window frame) or background of supported apps and its behavior is customizable through a GUI and a config file.
